Peak Energy Savings Credit

For Small Businesses

When the temperature rises in the summer so does the demand
for electricity. The Peak Energy Savings Credit (PESC) lets you earn a credit off your small business bill when
you reduce your electricity use on specially designated Peak Savings Days. If you
reduce your energy use on Peak Savings Days this summer, you can earn a credit
off your bill.

Peak Savings Days typically occur between June and
September, between noon and 8:00 p.m., and usually last a few hours. During
these periods, you will receive a credit of $1.25 off your bill for every
kilowatt hour (kWh) you reduce your energy below your baseline.* The more
energy you save below your baseline, the larger your credit will be. You can
choose whether or not to participate on a particular Peak Savings Day – and
signing up is not necessary. There is no
penalty if you choose not to participate in the Peak Energy Savings Credit.

You will receive a phone call the day before a Peak Savings
Day with specific hours to save energy. You can also choose to be notified by
email, text message or an alternative phone number. To set your preferences,
log in to My
Account or call 1-855-750-PEAK. You may
select up to two notification preferences.

Saving energy on Peak Savings Days can be as simple as
turning off lights, waiting to run large machines until later, powering down
equipment after use or setting the temperature on your thermostat a few degrees
higher.

How to Participate:

NO ENROLLMENT NECESSARY. When a Peak Savings Day is announced you'll automatically receive a phone call giving you the hours for reducing your energy use. You can also choose to be notified by email or text.

TAKE ACTION. Reduce your energy use below your baseline during the specific hours of a Peak Savings Day to earn a credit off your small business bill.

VIEW YOUR CREDIT. You'll see your credit on your next bill or online through My Account.

*Your baseline is an average of
the three days with your highest energy use during the prior 30-day period.
This excludes the day prior to a Peak Savings Day, previous Peak Savings Days,
weekends and holidays. This
baseline is the energy use level you need to be under during the Peak Savings
Day to be eligible for a credit off your bill.
